Our lecturer for condensed matter physics based a large part of the course on an (excellent) book that was out of print [1]. He kindly had it photocopied and bound for us all for free.

Yes, we veto sites to prevent spam.

I'm not sure you would like the results of what you suggest - if you are really going to crawl everything indiscriminately, you will end up with a lot of rubbish. Just check out Common Crawl if you want to get an idea of what it would look like.

Yeah the ranking algorithm is just wrong right now. I'm working on it.

The curated items will stay the same, but we can't expect all queries to be curated.

I took the page down as it was attracting the wrong sort of attention. As some commenters surmised, the goal was to promote the search engine, but it wasn't working out that way...

Here's an alternative for streaming services that I've been trying out: buy second hand DVDs, rip them, then serve them with Plex. You can get 5 DVDs for £10 which is more than I can watch in a month, and less than I'd pay for Netflix, and the choice is huge, even if I restrict myself to these cheap ones.

I can't comment on the question as I'm not a designer and not in Germany, but there's a typo on the GitHub page: "tought" -> "thought".

Hi HN! Would love to get your feedback on this idea and the feature. It is super early and there are lots of issues with it, but the basic idea is there.

This is so cool, the new machine is a beast!

Do you know roughly how many pages you have in your index?

I've been using dokku for Mwmbl and have been fairly happy with it.

Congrats on the recent success by the way ;)

That seems to be because it's written kamilkazani, and automatically splitting such names is a hard problem

The more people that join, and help us crawl, the better it gets.

Yes, I took a break for a while, my fourth child was just born! Still committed to the project though and working on it when I get time.

Thanks for your encouragement. Would love to have a chat some time.

We actually just take the union and then re-rank. Because the lists are all small, this is cheap.

Yes, you're correct on the purpose. We mitigate it a little by also indexing on bigrams.

The API is open so feel free to write your own front end that doesn't need js, or send a PR to add support for no js.
